Although glycoproteins and proteoglycans have been a subject of re
search for many years, it is only during the last five or so years
that they have aroused the interest of a very broad cross section
of investigators in the biological sciences. The reason for this
expanded interest in these molecules is simple: not only are
glycoproteins and proteoglycans ubiq uitous, but many are molecules
with well-defined and important biological functions. The list of
molecules that fall into this category grows daily; interferon,
immunoglobulins, certain hormones, many cell surface recep tors,
and viral coat proteins are but a few examples. Thus, investigators
with interests as diverse as viral replication. cell-cell
interactions. poly isoprenoid synthesis, secretory processes,
hormone responses, embryonic development, and immunology have
become concerned with glycopro teins and proteoglycans. The
objective of this book is to summarize the current state of
knowledge on the biochemistry of these molecules. Coverage is by no
means encyclopedic; rather the thrust is to emphasize the recent ad
vances. The first chapter deals primarily with structural work on
the oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins, but it will be
apparent in it and in the succeeding two chapters on biosynthesis
that not only do structural studies aid biosynthetic
investigations, but that studies on biosynthesis often playa major
role in elucidation of structure."
